Problem with connecting multiple signal lines to a single pneumatic signal line

Hello guys,

I'm pretty new to AutoCAD Plant 3D and I'm having trouble with connecting multiple pneumatic signal lines to one main pneumatic line. This problem has been bugging me for days!

 

Is that possible? Or do I need to create branches? (Tried to google it, but no luck). 

 

I want to create a main pneumatic line from an air tank. On the main pneumatic line I want to connect smaller pneumatic/air lines to my solenoid actuated valves. The working air will be operating a knife gate valve.

This is all I managed to do. But it can be seen that vertical line isn't connected to my main line (main line is with off page connector). 

 

Any advice is appreciated!

Best Regards!

If you need them to be different groups, you need to take the one that's perpendicular to the main line, select it, select the node end blue dot, and then do a perpendicular snap to the other line.  You should have a To/From in the properties set up so you can verify that it did pick up the other line.
